Health screening and Rapid Diagnostics have become a powerful tool in detecting illness early. Cancer screening services and rapid diagnostic services are offered nationally but none are run in the same way as the The Clinic by Spotlight Health. Led by consultant oncologists and supported by expert, London based, cancer treating physicians and a general practitioner, this offers a unique opportunity to be assessed by The Clinic multidisciplinary team from presentation. In partnership with leading private health care providers, we aim to deliver a highly sophisticated screening and diagnostic pathway.
We offer both cancer screening packages (for those who do not have symptoms but are worried about cancer), as well as rapid diagnostics (for those who have symptoms and want to reach a diagnosis quickly).

The Trucheck™ test is offered to asymptomatic clients only, it is offered alongside other established health screening tests which will be discussed with you. Trucheck™ is a blood-based test that is highly sensitive in detecting circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and CTC clusters released from malignant cells (cancer cells) into the bloodstream. It is able to detect up to 70 types of solid cancer tumours (accounting for approximately 81% of cancer cases in Europe) and has been validated across cohorts of over 40,000 patients. This sensitive and specific test is key for rapid early diagnosis. Successful treatment and improved survival rates are associated with detection at earlier stages. Trucheck™ has an overall sensitivity of between 82.5% to 88.2% for different types of cancers. It has a specificity of approximately 99%, correctly identifying 99 out of 100 cases that do not have cancer. Trucheck™ has been designed to complement standard health or cancer screening offering peace of mind to those with a negative test, but also guiding further investigations for those with positive test results. The Trucheck™ test has received US FDA Breakthrough Device Designation as well as European CE certification. It should be noted that Trucheck™ should always be used in conjunction with and the guidance of specially trained medical teams that can use the test as a compliment to established cancer screening. Blood tests are carried out in person at our sites in London where a face-to-face consultation, history taking and examination is carried out. If required, consultations can also be booked virtually. Complete consent to the Trucheck™ test must be obtained to ensure that the patient fully understands the next steps if a positive result is obtained. Results are received within four weeks, patients can visit their GP or be seen through our MDT team and join our fast track diagnostic route. Our MDT team are trained cancer specialists made up of a GP, oncologists, surgeon, physician and radiologist. They are then able to recommend any further necessary tests. If a patient receives a positive result, but no visible cancer is found a repeat blood test is given three months later at no cost. This is repeated six months later if necessary.
PSA blood tests are a fast and effective way to help guide a rapid diagnosis or exclusion of prostate disease including prostate cancer. Tests alone cannot be relied on and need to be followed up with further investigations. Our team at The Clinic offer counselling and further investigation to help with the rapid diagnosis or exclusion of cancer.
